Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Bookends after having used EN for quite some time (and Reference Manager before that, back when I actually used Windows). My question concerns mixing multiple in-text citations with text. Here's an example, with the asterisk as the citation seperator:

{Bonito, 2001, #6728* Meeker, 1994, #2809* \cf. \Gastil, 1993, #2772}

I want the "cf." to appear before the last citation, but after the colon that separates the citations. (I'm using APA 5th style.) But here's what I get once I scan the document:

(Bonito, 2001; Meeker, 1994cf. Gastil, 1993)

As you can see, the second semi-colon doesn't appear (although the text information does), but the first one is where it's supposed to be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

It looks like this may be a bug.

Thanks for the report.

Thanks, Jon.

I meant to mention that I tried several different delimiters, but I got the same behavior.

On another note, I have a question about the "et al." behavior for APA 5th. I found a prevoius thread that pointed me to the user manual )p. 131). I set up "APA Citations" as recommended, then linked it to the APA output. But in the document it prints the full reference after the citation in the text. In other words, both the citation and the reference appear in the paragraph text. I must have a button pressed or not pressed. Have you encountered this behavior?

On the whole, I've been very impressed with Bookends. And thanks for being so responsive.

Hi Joe,

I wonder if you have APA set to use itself as the custom citation format. It should be set to use APA Citations (a separate format). FWIW, this will ship as the default configuration in the next update.
